Clean Eating Granola

This is my absolute FAVORITE granola recipe.  I found the original recipe off of the blog 100 Days of Real Food, but I changed it up a bit to suit our family's taste. 

Clean Eating Granola

Ingredients

• 3½ cups rolled oats (you can mix in steel cut oats as well as rolled oats)
• 1 cup raw sliced almonds
• 1 cup raw cashew pieces
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp Pumpkin pie seasoning
• 6 tablespoons coconut oil
• ½ cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Also need – parchment paper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Cover a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry oats, almonds, cashews, walnuts, seeds and spices together in a large mixing bowl.
3. Heat the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the butter melts stir in the vanilla and salt.
4. Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
5. Spread mixture onto prepared pan in one even layer. Bake for 75 minutes.
6. The granola will become crisp as it cools at which point you can break into pieces (if making bars) or break it up into small chunks by pounding it in a zip lock bag (if making cereal). Store in air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
